KOTORAU: Two years after the Star Forge, an ancient Jedi secret emerges: one that could mean the death of all Jedi. With Darth Nihilus seeeking it, Revan,the Exile, and allies must find it first before it falls into the wrong hands...Complete!

Well, here it is - the
final chapter to this story! Did I update fast enough? This is also pretty short. Maybe I should have just posted this and the previous chapter at the same time...nah. This
actually comes as both a relief and regret. While I enjoyed writing
this story, this has also taken longer to write than I wanted, so
it's going to feel good to finally have this finished. Thanks to
everyone who's reviewed this story; personal thanks will come after
the chapter. In the meantime, enjoy!

No One Special:
Thanks! Thanks also for the correction. It gets hard to catch all
the grammar mistakes, sometimes, especially in chapters that long.
As for a sequel, while I've considered it before, the chances of
there being one are fairly small. Sorry! But I think the story
stands nicely by itself. Don't think this means there won't be
one, though. I'm just saying don't get your hopes up. (Please
don't kill me, l0ngshOtor!) If I do make one though, it definitely
won't be as long. Thanks anyway!

BTW l0ngshOtor, to be honest I was debating whether or not to have Revan or Quaid finish Nihilus off. I'm not sure why I had it be Revan. For some reason, I wanted Revan to be the one to finish him off. All things considered though I don't think it makes much difference. Maybe I should have had Quaid be the one to kill Nihilus. Oh well. XP

As for other KOTOR
fics, I'm not sure. In the meantime I have another story I'm
working on, but it's not KOTOR-based. I'm going to take a little
break from writing though before I post it. Hope you like this final
chapter!

Epilogue

The wedding took a long
time to plan, longer than Revan had wanted. Surprisingly, one of the
most difficult things to decide was where to have it! He and Bastila
had considered Coruscant, but eventually decided against it. Manaan,
where they had shared their first kiss, was a big choice, as well as
Talravin (Bastila's home world). In the end though, they finally
decided on the planet perhaps most important to them both -
Dantooine.

The whole event
actually drew more attention than they had anticipated. Their close
friends at first were the only ones invited. Then, Revan had decided
to let some Jedi Masters attend, then some Republic officers. Then,
word slipped out somehow that the two famous Jedi Knights were
getting married, and before they knew it, it seemed like half the
Republic knew about it. Thankfully though, they had managed to keep
the crowd of attendees relatively small.

It took place outside,
as Revan and Bastila had always planned, on a place overlooking one
of Dantooine's beautiful lakes. Bastila had always loved the
water, and Revan wasn't about to disappoint her.

Inside her tent,
Bastila was busy preparing for the occasion, and was more nervous
than she had been in her life! She sat in front of a mirror and was
applying her makeup, with the help of Mission, Yuthura, and Visas.

"It's going to mess
up," Bastila said nervously. "What if he doesn't like it?"

"Oh for crying out
loud Bast, just relax!" Mission said. "Your hair's fine and
it's not going to mess up. So just chill, okay?"

"Mmm…this makeup
won't fade, will it? What if there's too much? You think he'll
like this dress?"

"Bastila first of
all, Revan is a guy and he probably won't care," Visas told her.
"Secondly, we didn't put on too much, so just relax. And third,
believe me when I say you look positively breathtaking." Bastila
didn't look convinced, but sat back and said no more.

It had been eight
months since the battle on Dantooine. Since then, Visas had
undergone a dramatic change. Ever since Nihilus's death, it was
like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders, or like someone
had removed a mask she had been forced to wear. She had gone from
being the timid, quiet, submissive Sith Assassin to being the
vibrant, outspoken girl Bastila had known from her childhood. Even
her appearance had changed. Well, at least her clothes. She still
wore the robes and veil she had worn during her days as a Sith
Assassin, but she had traded the dark scarlet colors for a pure,
vivid white.

After a while, it was
finally time. Visas went over to Bastila and helped her put on her
veil. When everything was done, she and Mission examined her from
head to toe.

Outside, Revan was
shifting nervously as he stood in place. He wore the dress robes he
had gotten for the occasion. His black hair was the same length it
was before, but it was at least done in a way that was an actual
style rather than its usual chaotic mess.

"Nervous?" Carth
asked him from behind. Revan looked over his shoulder.

"No, not at all,"
Revan replied sarcastically. He turned and took another look at the
crowd. All the familiar faces were there. Some of the Jedi council
were there, most notably Master Vandar, Master Vash, and Master
Atris. Revan had been disheartened to learn of Kavar's death, but
he was at least relieved Darth Traya hadn't been able to cause more
damage. Ever since she returned, Revan hadn't really trusted her,
but could do nothing after he was sent on his mission.

Jolee, and
Juhani were there as well, and were watching the whole thing
expectantly. Zaalbar was there, too. The wookiee had taken a break
from his duty on Kashykk to visit Revan, whom he still had a
life debt to. Even Atton (who was now training as a fighter pilot
for the Republic) was there, watching from the side. Not too far off
were T3 and HK. The bloodthirsty droid was serving as a sort of
extra security for the affair. His presence alone was enough to keep
things under control for some.

"What are you afraid
of? Don't tell me the former Sith Lord can take on an entire Sith
army but goes into a breakdown at his own wedding," the Admiral
mocked.

"This former Sith
Lord is also starting to get annoyed, Carth," Revan growled.

"Woah! Easy, there.
Don't worry, I was nervous as hell when I got married, too,"
Carth assured him. "If it makes you feel any better, she's
probably as nervous as you are." He gave another chuckle. Carth
had changed as well, to Revan's relief. He had definitely gotten
more relaxed these past few months. Now that Telos had a new source
of fuel, Carth no longer was constantly worrying about the planet's
fate. As of now, things looked good for Telos. The rebuilding
looked as though it would be a success, after all. As of right now,
all was right with the galaxy. Nobody had to worry about Saimos's
secret ever falling into the hands of the Sith ever again. The
machine was destroyed, and the creature's body was cremated after
his death. The secret would never slip out again. And it was better
that way.

"Here she comes,"
Quaid notified them. Revan took a breath and regained his composure.
He straightened out and put on an air of confidence for the
audience. At last, Bastila appeared, being lead by Visas and
Mission. Revan's jaw practically dropped at the sight of her. To
him, she was always beautiful. But now…

"Good luck," Quaid
whispered from behind.

Bastila could feel her
nervousness rising as she approached Revan. In a way, she was glad
she had the veil over her face. Visas and Mission accompanied her
down the isle, but now was the time for her to go on by herself.

"Go get him," Visas
encouraged her. Bastila stepped forward and faced her husband-to-be.
The Jedi stared at her with wide eyes that almost made her
laugh.

"Bastila, you…you
look…you're…" he stammered. "Bastila, you're the most
beautiful woman I've ever seen," he said with a grin.

Bastila could feel a
blush creeping up on her cheeks. "Flatterer," she said. She
took a moment to take in Revan and his appearance, feeling her blush
grow. "You…you look handsome."

"Thanks," Revan said back. He extended his arm out to her. "Shall we?"

Bastila took it, and
the two walked down the isle. Awaiting them at the end was a Selkath
dressed in formal attire for the occasion. Once there, the ceremony
proceeded smoothly. The rings were given, and vows were exchanged.
Finally, it came to the part everyone looked forward to the most.

"Do you, Bastila
Shan, take Revan to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and
in health, till death do you part?" the Selkath asked in its
guttural language.

Bastila looked up at
her love with a smile. "I do." The Selkath turned to Revan.

"And do you, Revan,
take Bastila Shan to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in
health, till death do you part?"

"You bet," Revan
said confidently.

"Then by the power
vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the
bride."

Revan barely gave
Bastila time to respond before he raised the veil, took her in his
arms and placed a passionate kiss on her lips, which she returned
equally. Applause and cheers erupted from the crowd, and the two,
now husband and wife, ran down the isle to the celebrating crowd.

All sorts of hugs,
handshakes, and 'congratulations' were exchanged as the gathering
was broken up and people started heading for the reception.

"Way to go," Quaid
said as he congratulated Revan.

"Yeah, it's about
time," Revan replied as he held Bastila close to him.

"Congratulations,"
Visas said as she appeared from the crowd. A brief hug was exchanged
between her and Bastila, then Revan.

"You know, you two
really do make a great couple," Quaid said brightly.

"Thanks. By the way,
what about you two?" Revan asked them. "You two making any
plans?"

Visas and Quaid smiled
at each other then turned back to Revan and Bastila. "We've been
thinking about it," Quaid told them. "We just decided to give it
a little more time before we make any lifetime commitments."

"Well, take your
time. Just don't take forever," Revan said with a wink as they
moved on. The next person they came to was the little Master Vandar.

"Congratulations!"
he said warmly. "The order wishes you the best of luck. May you
both be happy together."

"Thank you," Revan
and Bastila both said.

"It was you. You
sent me that lightsaber, didn't you?" Quaid asked him. Vandar
gave him a warm grin in response.

"Well, you were an
exile by order, but some of us didn't believe you deserved such,"
he said.

"Well, thanks,
Vandar," Quaid said. Not long after the battle of Dantooine, both
Quaid and Visas were reinstated as Jedi Knights, much to their
delight.

As they made their way
to the reception, Revan gave Bastila another kiss on the cheek and led her along.

"Well, we did it,"
he said.

Bastila smiled warmly.
"I hope this lasts forever."

"I think it will,"
Revan replied. After all the battles, all the uncertainties, and
against all odds, they had made it. All was the way it should be.
Sure, they would still
have battles ahead of them, many ups and many downs, but for now,
everything was perfect. And neither of them could have been happier.

Much later, the after
party ended and everyone went their separate ways. Revan and Bastila
found themselves headed toward their new home they had bought not too
far off from the ever-growing Khoonda settlement. The two were seated in the back of a landspeeder being piloted by the psychotic HK-47 himself, with T3 next to him.

The droid brought the
speeder to a halt in front of a rather quaint-looking house. It
wasn't too big, and not too small. It was just right. Perched on
the branches of one of the trees in front of their home was a
peculiar bird Revan didn't think he had ever seen before. It had
bright blue feathers and a strong yet graceful appearance. Upon
seeing the two there, it spread its wings and flew off. Revan merely
shrugged and thought little of it, though at the time he didn't
realize that that bird would be a regular visitor to their home in
the years to come.

"Stand guard outside, HK," Revan commanded.

"Statement: I shall guard you and your meatbag mistress with unequaled ferocity, master."

Smiling, Revan picked up and
carried Bastila up to the door. After T3 opened it, he carried her over the
threshold and inside. He walked through the house and up the steps, while she
clung to his neck and pressed her head lovingly against his chest.
At last they came to their bedroom, and Revan placed his wife down on
the bed. He lay down next to her and the two shared a passionate
kiss.

"I love you, Revan.
I love you so much," Bastila said in between breaths. Her husband
pulled away and looked deep into her eyes.

"I love you too,
Bastila. I'll always love you. I don't want to lose you ever
again," he whispered back softly. Nope, nothing, not even all the
power in the galaxy, could have meant more to him than this woman
next to him. Bastila said nothing, but smiled warmly back and kissed
him again.

"So, you satisfied
with the way things turned out?" Bastila asked as they both sat up.

"I think so," Revan
said. "I don't think I could be any more satisfied. And you?"

"Oh, I think I'm
satisfied as well," Bastila said back. A mischievous smile crept
over her face. "Hopefully, that won't be the only satisfaction
either of us recieve tonight."

Before Revan could say
anything, she literally tackled him onto the bed, straddled his
waist, and stared down at him lustfully. A smile appeared on her
husband's face as she started kissing him furiously while running
her hands over his body.

Revan never had a
better "sleep" in his life!

The End

Well, there it is! I
hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and I hope you all enjoyed the
story. While I'm glad to get this over with, I am also a little
sad to see this finished. Oh well. Thank you to everyone who's
been reading this, and many thanks to those who took the time to
review.

Special thanks go out
to:

Tinuviel Undomiel &
Nerwen Aldarion (who've been reviewing since practically the
beginning. Thanks a lot for your reviews! You definitely helped
keep this story going)

l0ngshOtor

Masta Revan

Turd Ferguson

Inuyasha Angel
(who stopped reviewing, but reviewed a lot in the beginning)

VFR6

Brazilian Sith Lord

Hmm, hope I didn't
forget anyone. I think that's it. Thanks to all those who
reviewed but whose names I didn't mention.

All in all, I'm
satisfied with how the story turned out. There are a couple of
things I would have changed, though. Length being one. (30 chapters,
wow!) Secondly, I probably would have taken out a couple characters,
most likely Atton and Jolee. All things considered, they really
weren't that necessary to the plot, especially Jolee who just
seemed to be along for the ride. Atton was at least important when
it came to Nar-Shadaa. Oh well. Maybe someone feels otherwise, but
that's just my gut feeling. By the way, in case any of you are
confused about the significance of the bird at the end, please refer
to Chapter 26: Countdown, more specifically, the conversation
between Revan and Saimos. (wink) As for the Selkath appearing, well, I just
found the idea of Revan and Bastila being married by a fish funny.
:P

Well, I've said it
every chapter, and I'll say it one last time: please read and
review! Any final compliments, criticisms, opinions are appreciated. Adios!

The author would like to thank you for your continued support. Your review has been posted.
